Services
Pipeline CCTV Inspection
Our Pipeline CCTV Inspection service uses advanced camera systems and NASSCO PACP-certified software to assess underground pipeline conditions. We provide detailed video reports, 3D manhole scans, and condition ratings to identify defects and prioritize repairs. This technology ensures accurate data for municipal and industrial clients.
Sewer & Storm Drain Cleaning
We offer comprehensive Sewer & Storm Drain Cleaning using high-pressure water jets and vacuum systems. Our fleet removes debris, roots, and blockages from pipelines, catch basins, and lift stations. Custom nozzles and water recycling technology minimize environmental impact while ensuring system efficiency.
Hydro-Excavating
Hydro-Excavating services use high-pressure water and vacuum systems to safely expose underground utilities. This non-destructive method prevents damage to pipelines and cables, ideal for locating infrastructure in sensitive areas. Our trucks operate at 3000 psi for precise excavation.
Smoke Testing
Smoke Testing identifies leaks and improper connections in sewer systems by introducing odorless smoke into pipelines. This cost-effective method reveals defects in coastal areas and storm drains, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Results guide targeted repairs to prevent water contamination.
Manhole Assessments
Manhole Assessments utilize 3D scanning and video technology to evaluate structural integrity. Our NASSCO MACP-rated inspections document wear on covers, walls, and channels. Data is delivered via hard drive for integration with GIS systems, supporting long-term infrastructure planning.
